Also note that I don't have email notifications turned on, so if you are just making these comments thinking that you're spamming my mailbox, then you might as well quit.

Impersonator:

This person (the author of this sentence) is spamming me. In fact, he is harassing me and annoying me. I shall notify Trang about that.

Impersonator:

It's obvious that I don't like this. But do you know what intrigues me in this harassment? It's the amazing amount of time that this person has to waste looking for sentences of mine that have a similar pattern as sentences of his and commenting about that. Some crazy people are just fascinating, to say the least. You would neither hate them nor would you feel compassion for them. You would just look at them with some sort of curiosity, the way you would look at, say... a fakir performing a very bizarre act.

No, I think I’m
(a) making corpus more useful by making it interlinked in two directions,
(b) attracting attention to a problem of a corpus reflecting a single culture and becoming less useful to people from other cultures.

I’m really grateful for CK’s contribution, but I think he doesn’t notice some problems with the ideas he’s advocating.

Impersonator:

Some English native speakers try to impress people by their native skills but they'd rarely help with difficult problems.

Some people tend to think that they shouldn't even open their mouth and say a word in English when they are in the presence of "native speakers." This is absolutely ridiculous and pathetic, too.

Go ahead, man. If your English is perfect, then don't listen to anyone and just go ahead with it and contribute. Good people shouldn't be putting other people down when they're working so hard to improve their language skills or just any other useful skills. I have never met nasty English native speakers until I came to this website. His obnoxious comments have created such a negative atmosphere on this website and I frankly hate that.
